AN INTERESTING CASE.
Beginning of VIM. McCaws Trial for Murder
Committed Twenty Years Ago.

When William McCaw was brought into court
vest erday morning, to be tried for murder, he
was accompanied by his wife and three small
children. A brother and sister came in later
and took seats near him. inside the bar. The phys
ical strain upon him from confinement does not
appear to have affected him much, and he seemed
bright and in good spirits. The courtroom was
crowded to the galleries with spectators. many
of whom had known McCaw in his youth.
Quite number of persons here from Lin
coln ILL.,, in the interest of McCaw, that place
havin been his home for eighteen years. He
is defended by Harding & Hovey and
Colonel Edmund Lynch of Lincoln,
prominent criminal lawyer in Illinois. Major
Mitchell. has put considerable work on the case,
and, with his assistant, John Hoffman, will
make vigorous prosecution. The entire day
was occupied in procuring jury, and at ad-
journment only eleven men had been agreed
upon. special veEire had been issued for
thirty men and they were exhausted shortly
after noon. In all over fifty men were rejected.
John S. Flack, w. N. Huntington, Jeremiah
Coble. Joseph McLain, Charles Dawson. James
nj. Nelson, George Carringford, William Wright
w. S. Oliver and James B. Marshall.
McCaw is indicted for the murder of Austin
NJ. Foulke, on July f. 1867. The murder oc-
Cured at a German picnic in Stilzs grove, and
was the outgrowth of a previous quarrel. They
met on the picnic grounds and agreed to settle
their differences. They started to an un-
frequented part of the ground, and, it is
claimed as they came near each other at the
end of wagon-tongue, MeCaw thrust knife
into Foulke killing him instantly. After
hiding about the city for several days. he went
to Lincoln, ILL.,, where he married, and has
| lived, according to report, an upright life.
After the assassination of the telegraph
operator at Marshal Station. Harry Jones,
of this CITY,. started out, as de-
tective in the case, and by some
| means conceived the idea that McCaw
| was the murderer. About that time McCaw
| came to this city to visit his dying mother, and
| while here the police received telegram from
| Marshal Station nstructing them to arrest him
| for the murder of the telegraph operator. The
| arrest was made by Captain Colbert, and the
| next day it became known that McCaw was the
| murderer of Foulke in 1867. 1t was also learned
| few days afterward that Jones's charge was
| trumped up. However, the grand jury, then in
| session. returned an indictment against McCaw
| for the murder of Foulke. Jones, who caused
the arrest has since been found guilty of rob
| b!ng the mails, and has been sent to Joliet fol
three years.

German in the Public Schools.

TO the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
have the following reasons for not wishing
the German or any other foreign language
taught in the common schools of this country:
First. this is America and the English language
ours. Second. pupil attending our schools
needs all his time and energies for the acquire
ments of useful knowledge, without spending
his time upon foreign language. Third, schol-
ars can acquire other languages in universities
and colleges when they emerge from the COM
mon schools. by paying their tuition. Fourth,
the laws upon which our common schools
exist, l think, do not, and should
not anticipate educating any scholar
Hereunder in any foreign language. Fifth, il
teaching German Is right, why not Chinese. Rus
sian, Spanish or Indianl And all of them2
Sixth, this is the adopted country of all foreign
ers who live here. Now let them adopt our Ian
guags or pay for learning their own in some
private school. Seventh. no other country in
the world uses its schools tor the teaching of
foreign languages, except a tuition paid spe-
cially therefor. NJ. D. ELLIS.

will soon have western line out of here over

occupy joint office with the Erie Express Com

they will probably operate jointly here.

Died Of Exposure.

A Mexican named Jose Valerzuela, aged about fifty years, died on Tuesday morning at Wheat's ranch, from the effects of long exposure without clothing or food during the storm of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He was employ ed by MT. w. Y. Price at the Represita ranch as pump man, aud had solicited the privilege of Accompanying the vaquero beyond the Santa Cruz where the grazing was good. When the rainstorm came on, last Friday, he started to return to the ranch. In fordig the Santa Cruz, which was then rising, his horse became mired and refused to move. Jose got on the banks of the stream and took off his clothes and then made another attempt to get the horse out, but without avail. big flood of water came sweeping down and swept the man down stream, but he succeeded in reaching the other side all safe and sound. The horse extricated itself and remained on the side where the mans clothes were. The unfor- tunate fellow for some cause preferred to remain where he was instead of seeking shelter and relief at the ranch which was only fifteen miles away, and for two days and nights he was exposed to the heavy storm without clothes, shelter or food, having only the muddy water in the river to drink. He was discovered on Sunday afternoon and was at once brought to Wheat's ranch, where everything possi- ble was done to relieve him, but he died on Tuesday forenoon and was buried the same evening.

The W0shOutS.

From Casa Grande the following par. ticulars are learned of the washouts that have delayed all traffic on the South ern Pacific since Friday night. of last week:
 The most serious damage was at the Clenega, near Pantano, and probably two weeks will be required to make repairs, as there Is no available material with which to mend the road. Two bridges were washed away and one piece of tres tle-work is gone. Arrangeme ents will be completed to transfer passengers and mails over this break by to-day.
 There was large washout at Aztec station and another between Maricopa Tank and Montezuma; there were also many small breaks along the road. Sev- eral working outfits with as many men as they can get are doing all they can to make repairs, and the track is being cribbed up as fast as possible
 All the washouts west of Tucson were in condition for trains to pass on Thurs day. No. 20 left Tucson on Thursday night for San Francisco and Mo- 19 went through Casa Grande for Tucson the same night on its regular schedule time, and this arrangement has been maintain ed until to-day, when the transfer at the Cienega begins. By tomorrow aIthrough eastern mail may be looked for and the washout troubles may be regarded as practically at an end.

D1 DLANCO. Strange shapes of rock rise mute and grim Above the barren, lonesome reach Of mountain mesa; seeming guards Of this weird waste; the night-owl's screech
 Breaks on the evening air. Deep chasms yawn, from whose dark depths deep and ournful murmur seems To rise, and call thousand echoes forth: The ceaseless tones of running streams
 That faintly gleam below Steon ruins-relics of a long dead race Time-worn upon the mesa lay A shapeless mass; from western sky The last pale light of dying day
 Falls CD the crumbling pile. Mute tokens of their makers skill In peaceful arts; but fate decreed That they should fade; their history still
 A mystery remains. A dim tradition fingers yet Among the tribes that peaceful dwell Upon the Gila's fertile banks Of how an ancient people fell
 A prey to savage foes. A docile and industrious race, Unready for the ruthless raid Of savage hordes, who swept the land; A fell destructive host that laid
 Their towns and cities low. When sorely pressed they fled the plains And mid these crags a refuge sought. And strongholds built-a last resort Against relentless foes, and fought
 For life, while life remained. In vain; all perishedl What remains? A legend; ruins whose gray walls Are haunted yet by gliding forms And wailing cries when softly falls
 The mantle of the night.
